Handing over a weapon is simply a peculiar minute that is forever remembered. This is the first phase of the soldier's road leading to full service in the Armed Forces of Poland. The weapon is not only a tool of service, but besides a symbol of valor and honor. Its possession involves work to fellow arms, Homeland and Nation.
Soldiers undergo intensive preparations for further service, gaining theoretical cognition and applicable skills. The programme includes, among others, mustard, shooting, tactics and field studies, first aid rules and endurance elements. “Training combines explanation with practice, giving future soldiers a solid basis for further service,” stressed Brigadier, Major Piotr Bastkowski.
Handing over arms is 1 of the key moments of the “Holiday with the Army” programme, culminating in a solemn military oath. After completion of basic training, volunteers may proceed their service by undertaking 11-month specialist training.
